The Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation and Canadian Utilities Limited, an ATCO company, have announced the completion of Canada's most northerly off-grid solar project, reducing diesel use by 189,000 litres annually in the remote Yukon community of Old Crow and providing them with clean energy for decades to come. To see this important project through to successful completion, the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation and Canadian Utilities developed a first-of-its-kind Electricity Purchase Agreement that is a model for effective collaboration in the utilities sector. The Vuntut Gwitchin will serve as the Independent Power Producer, owner and operator of the solar facility, while Canadian Utilities will purchase the solar electricity generated for the next 25 years, feed it into the grid and redistribute to the community. Beyond creating a reliable source of revenue for the community, the reduction in diesel fuel use is in line with the Vuntut Gwitchin's 2019 Yeendoo Diinehdoo Ji'heezrit Nits'oo Ts'o'Nan He'aa Declaration, calling for concrete action on combatting climate change.
